As a player, you look where I’ve come from, averaging ‘X’ amount of points, to where I am now, an All-Star.
I think that no one, or very few, are born as good presenters. It’s a skill that you learn. The key is the 10/20/30 rule: 10 slides given in 20 minutes using no font smaller than 30 points. If people just adhered to this rule, they would double or triple the quality of their presentations.

If you give him a 3-point shot, you might as well count it. I’d rather have Steph Curry beat me 14 points and 14 assists than let him get 40. Because his 40 is just so loud. And it’s because of those 3s.
